Thanks! Alexa, Beth, and Carol share a sum of money. Alexa receives 0.6 of the sum of money. Beth and Carol receive the rest of the money. If Beth receives 7/12 of the money shared by both her and Carol, and Carol receives $860, how much money does Alexa get?

3096

Step-by-step explanation:

So Carol gets 5/12 of the 40% so divide 860 by 5 to get 1/12 then multiply it by 12 to get 2064 which is 40% of the total money divide that by 4 to get 516 multiply that by 6 to get the amount Alexa received which is 60%

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
